going side by side with friends out there, i noticed while I'm on my Wainmans, they can typically go upwind a bit better than I. the other kites are mostly Cab and Best. But I wouldn't trade them; it's not a huge difference and the Rabbit's are excellent all-around wave and jump kites. i'm mostly wa...

i had an Element V3 (11M) and really liked it except for one thing that eventually relegated it to the garage. It did not handle lulls well. it was great in gusts, but loved to drop out of the sky in the lulls. anyone know if this has been addressed in the V5? I'm considering a new 7M, and for me, w...

i had shoulder issues for well over 5 years. tried massage therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy , stem cell therapy, and finally, full shoulder replacement. it still hurts. bottom line: doctors often look at xrays and see what they want to see, and have a diagnosis that fits into what they special...

straps on a surfboard are akin to riding a twintip without straps....it's ridiculous. Nonsense. No rules.

Duke update. Now have had my third session on it. Have had it form knee to head high waves... this is what i kind of questioned about this board, and the strong concave in general. I own a Mako King and though it's a fun board, it does not do well in the waves relative to a normal surfboard. I thin...

I have just seen and experienced far too much ugliness in this sport over money Sports is just like any other business; it's all about money. that's just basic economics. you can hate that or like it...doesn't matter, it's reality. I know nothing about anything on the inside at Wainman, but as long...
